WAGON-SEAT.

T o all idiom it may concern: l.

Beit known that I, NORVAL P. Rooms, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jeffeison, in the county of Green and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful egon-Seat, of which the following is a specitication. y

T hisinvention relates, generally, to wagon seats. and more particularly to one adapted for use in connection with farm wagons.

The objectof the-.invention is to provide a seat of this character which may be readily attached to or detached from the wagon body so as to occupy a positioiieither on the4 right or left hand side of a wagon, and which shall be capable of being folded down against the side of the wagon body thus to be out of the Way when the body is being filled with any substance.

A further object is to provide a seat of this character which shall combine simplicity of construction, high efficiency and durability in use. and which may readily be manufactui-ed` and ap iled. f

'itii the i ove and other objects in view, as will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the. same consists in the.

novel construction and combination of parts of a wagon seat, as' will be hereinafter fullydescribed alid claimed.

In the accompanying drawings forming a pait of this specification and in which like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts,-Figiiie I is a view in pers iective exhibiting a v)o1-tion of the wagon bod with the improved seat applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a view in side elevation. Fig. 3 is an end View, displaying in dotted lilies the position occupied by the seatwhen not in use.. Fig. 4 is a fragmentary detail view. Figa-,5 is a` view in side elevation, partly in section, of one of the members of the seat.

The article comprisesa clip 1, a bracket 2 pivotallly connected therewith, and a seat' carrying arm 3 which is detachably assembled with the bracket. i

For purposes of strength, together with lightness, it is preferred that the clip, bracket and sea-tesupporting arm be made of structuralsteel, the clip and arm being T-shaped in cross section and the bracket of channel iron.

The connection between the cli) and the bracket is secured by providing tie former. with a perforated lug 4, that works between two ears 5 onv the outer end of the bracket l lSpecification of Letters Patent. Appiic'aagn mea september 9, 1907. seriai No. 391,969.

and-is held assembled therewith by a vbolt or rivet 5". The bracket carries a stop or abutmentv 6, which when the seat is in operative position engages with one side of the clip, as shown in 3, the ribs or fins 7 of the clip membeis being cut away to permit the bracket -to engage with the clip.

The arm 3 is provided with a reduced terminal 8 that projects through an orifice 'formed in the free end of the bracket for'the purpose, and is held assembled therewith by a nut 9.

T he seat 10 may be of the character shown or otherwise, and is iirnily bolted to a U.- sliaped spring 11 that preferably, though not necessarily, forms an integral extension of the arm 3.

As shown in Fig. 3, the clip straddles the side of the wagon body B, and may be held against movement relatively thereto in any preferred manner, as by the employment of strap staples 12, which embrace the outer member of the clip and are bolted at 13 to the sides of the wagon body. Any number of these staples may be employed, two in this instance being shown.

The orifice 13 in the bracket 2 that rc' ceives the reduced extension S of the arm is polygonal in order to prevent any rocking movement of the seat when once positioned. As shown iii Fig. 3, when the scat is. not in use or when the wagon body is being loaded the seatmay be turned down against the outer side of the body and thus be out of the wa f.

ils will be obvious, the seat is capable of being shifted from one side of the wagon body to the` other merely by loosening the nut 9, reversing the position of the arm 3 relatively to the bracket and then again seat- -ing the nut.

The means herein definedA are simple in character, will be found thoroughly efficient for the purposes designed and will result in the production of a strong, 'durable and readily applied seat.

hat is claimed is A wagon seat comprising a bifurcated clip arranged to straddle the side board of a wagon body, and provided at one end with a lug, a bracket slotted at one end to receive t-he lug and being pivotally connected therewith and provided in its other end with a transversely disposed polygonal orifice, an'

arm having at one end a reduced polygonal extension to engage the orice, Wto l my own, I have hereto` affixed my signature prevent the arm from having anyvroc ing in the presence of two witnesses. movement when in use, means for clampino' the extension within the orifice, a. curve 5 spring carried hy the other end of the arm, Witnesses: and a seat secured to thawing.N Y EDNA PRYOR,
